The 2 M&P PRO's are very nice. Both are slightly used and broken in.

After owning/shooting the Pro vs. Regular MP, what would you say are noticeable differences?

Do the Pros have SS slides?

I'm curious to know this too. Is the trigger on the pro series that much better?

I have never handled a standard M&P pistol. In my research I found the biggest difference is the trigger/sear parts.
Not wanting to replace standard M&P parts with APEX or other aftermarket parts just to make a 6 lb+ trigger better,
the PRO fit my wants.
The 5" PRO has a noticeable smoother trigger than the 4.25 PRO. Both are previously owned so unknown round count.
Since the 5" PRO is S&W's so called competition gun, like the Glock 34 and XDm 5.25, maybe the trigger is still a little better.
They, S&W, say these guns come from the Custom Shop, not regular production.
The 5" has fiber optic front sight and a black blade rear sight.
The 4.25" has night sights and the Shield has plain 3 dot sights.
The Shield came out advertised as having a better trigger than the other M&P's,
S&W said they would be working it into the regular M&P line of guns.
The best thing is, the grip angle is like a 1911, not a Glock!
I do not shoot a Glock very well at all.

RWH24...which grip inserts do you use in your M&P's? I know i prefer the mediums in the 9/40/357 frames and a the small in the 45acp frame M&P's....

I have the small in both. I have big meaty hands and short sausage fingers. I get better reach and grip control with the small B/S insert

So my question to you..... Does the 9/40 with med insert feel the same as a 45 with small insert? My next pistol I hope will be a M&P 45.

I have pretty big hands with long fingers, and I use the Med in the MP40. The Large insert feels like a tennis ball

the 45 grip is a little longer but the small insert makes the gun point about the same to me as the 9/40 grip with medium inserts.....in my hands they do feel closely the same. I might add that my 45 has the thumb safety whereas my other M&P's do not...i prefer them without but i hold the 45 with a thumb riding the safety lever just like i would a 1911.

Thanks, That is an answer I was looking for.

I too would ride the safety like a 1911. Where else would it go? grin

I now have an armorers block for the M&P 40 you can use. Happy I did it myself but not sure if I'd want to repeat. However, I know the M&P now in great detail.
